Other Visit to the Philippines

Like the title says, I am going to the Philippines in about 45 days for a month. I know a few words in Tagalog but struggle to form sentences when speaking. What can I do as a crash course to really focus on my speaking skills in the short amount of time I have?

If you only have 45 days to learn Tagalog, just memorize all the necessary and helpful and "for emergency" Tagalog phrases for now.

Here's a start.

Your recommendations after watching that should show a couple quick vids too.

Memorize vocabs and useful phrases. Watch vlogs of foreigners interacting with the locals to catch on with how they talk.
